|
| Artoo looking for the spot where he met the Jawas. We never found it. |
| |
|
| Artoo relaxes in the motel room. He ordered "American Pie" on the pay-per-view. | |
|
|
|
| The star back at the spot where Ben warned Luke about that wretched hive of scum and villainy... L.A. | |
|
|
| | Artoo and I argue by the side of the road. |
|
|
|
|
| Artoo returns to the same exact sand dune he rolled through 25 years before. | |
|
|
|
| Don Post loaned us this incredible replica of R2-D2 that we hauled into the desert. Thanks Don! | |
|
|
|
| David West Reynolds returns to the motel room, as Artoo waits up for his lost friend. | |
|
|
|
| I watch Dave replicate the sand dune shot from "A New Hope" with the camera we bought at Wal-Mart on the way. |
|
|
|
|
| Droid wrangler Chris Ossorio (who took many of these photos) dares follow the mad doctor into the heart of Bantha Canyon. |
|
|
|
|
| Chris and I celebrate our discovery of Artoo's dune with the droid himself. | |
|
|
|
| 6 a.m. at Dante's View in Death Valley. From 0 to 100 (degrees) in two minutes. | |
|
|
|
| Dave and I lift Artoo into the van. We hadn't really thought about how heavy he was til we got there. |
|
|
|
|
| Could my shorts be any shorter? I think I bought them when I was 12. | |
|
|
|
| I barge in as Chris and Artoo share a tender roadside moment. | |
|
|
|
| When you've got a droid on a sand dune, the urge to pose for photos is overwhelming. |
|
|
|
|
| Like I said... overwhelming. | |
|
|
|
| With Chris and Artoo at the Mos Eisley lookout. | |
|
|
|
|
| When they made Star Wars, the crew carried Artoo across the desert on a stretcher. Why didn't we? |
|
|
|
|
| Chris and Dave carry the droid over the dunes while I do the really hard work of taking their picture. |
